Farm Waste Collection
We are an appointed contractor for Solway Recycling covering an area from North of York to Morpeth. The system we offer is the Bin and Liner system. This is the best system as it allows a cost effective, simple and tidy system to have farm plastics recycled.
The idea of this system is you only pay for what we take away. There are no annual or registration fees; we charge per filled liner we collect from you. Each liner is capable of holding 200-250 silage wraps or 100-125 empty 600Kg fertilizer bags.
Once you have at least one liner full, you call us and we will collect them next time we are passing; normally in 1 to 2 weeks.
Each Farmer will be given a free, NFWS Waste Policy, which includes a Recycling Certificate, a section for storing Waste Transfer Notes {Waste Transfer Notes are issued each time a Controlled Waste is uplifted}. Also, at the end of each year farms will be given an Annual Statement, which details all of the holdings waste movements for that period.
Information held in the Waste Policy proves that you have disposed of your waste in an acceptable and legal manner. You may also be asked to provide this evidence for the Environment Agency, DEFRA, Farm Assurance or other regulatory bodies.
